JACK’S FOUL MOUTH TAINTS PARADE
JACK WILSHERE celebrated Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph with a string of expletives aimed at Tottenham after an all-night party with his team-mates. Wilshere also sang anti-Tottenham songs from the balcony last season following the open-top bus parade in north London to mark Arsenal’s 3-2 victory over Hull City in the FA Cup Final. Despite a warning from Arsenal about his behaviour, the midfielder heaped embarrassment on the club yesterday as he celebrated their historic 12th FA Cup triumph, sealed by a 4-0 win over Aston Villa at Wembley on Saturday. Young children, along with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, were present at the celebrations as Wilshere chanted: ‘What do we think of Tottenham?’, before adding, ‘And what do we think of s***?’ He then continued with another anti-Tottenham song riddled with expletives before the microphone was eventually snatched from him. The midfielder was pictured leaving a nightclub in the early hours before going on to Arsenal’s victory parade in the streets of Islington. An Arsenal spokesman said: ‘Like any broadcast, we apologised when there was swearing.’ The 23-year-old, a secondhalf substitute in the Final against Villa, insisted his team can go on to win the Barclays Premier League title next season. He said: ‘It’s different to last year when we had the pressure of no trophy for 10 years and it was almost as if we had to win it. ‘Of course we had to win the Cup as well but we could enjoy it more this time and take in the atmosphere and that’s what we did. ‘It was a comfortable victory and that was because we’d won the trophy last year. ‘There wasn’t so much pressure and we knew if we matched their intensity we’d have the quality to win the game. We did that. ‘The big one for us is the Premier League. We’ve progressed this year, we’ve finished third and got automatic Champions League qualification. ‘Next year we feel we can really push Chelsea, (Manchester) City and United for the title. ‘The competition is ferocious and it’s going to be the same next season — it’s part of football. ‘I remember coming away from games like United thinking: “We dominated that game” but we never really got anything for it. So I think this year was a big thing.’
